Has anyone gotten the AIM client to work on the 7100t. Like the reviewer, I tried to connect, but had no success. I let the client sit for an extended period of time (half hour) and it still didn't connect. I'm more inclined to believe that it's an overall problem, not faulty software. I've used the Sidekick AIM client on the t-mobile system and it's fairly fast. Any thoughts? I planned on waiting a week to complain.

I am able to use AIM & Yahoo. The only problem left is access to wap sites. Everytime I access any wap site it requests that I sign up for tzones.

I cannot access the IM client either. Just sits there trying to logon.

It's all finally working.
IM, and with the bb browser I can access tzones, wap and www sites.
I can even access T-Zones from my t-mobile web site to set up bookmarks, etc..
When calling CS, make sure you ask for the data & BB techs, they will eventually get it all working.

asking for wireless support services at TMO helps too... customer service there aren't the brightest people

I'm on with tmo right now and cust care rep read off the computer saying this is a known issue and no ETR... I asked for BlackBerry Specific support and now I'm on hold....

Folks that didn't work and now do what was the resolution?

rep came back and says they have no fix for it... they are not sure if it's a device problem or tmo issue...

I'm asking for additional trial period so I can evaluate the messaging otherwise I will be sending the device back and cancelling my account with Tmo

Hang in there! They will get it working.
I got my unit last friday, and got everything working today.

so what was done to resolve it? see my 2nd post directly above.

off the phone now... rep wouldn't extend buyers remorse period....

Obviously they could not help me get the chat working.

Looks like this thing may have to go back.

Have no idea what they did today, it just started working. However, I have had conversations with BB specialists every day since sunday. They had me delete service books, reboot, register my device, etc.......

A strange thing happened yesterday afternoon. I was on a call with my wife on my 7100t, and all of a sudden the screen went blank, and all I see is a brown hourglass in the middle of the screen. I tried restarting the maching and after few seconds, it asked displayed that it is doing some security checks and then the security checks are complete. It also offered me a tutorial for this device.
Right after that, the yahoo messenger started to work like a charm. Since then, I am online without an issue.

I guess, they pushed some fix down the Air ? It is really very strange.

I'm about to call again just to see if I can get someone to help me.... it seems odd that for some people it works and others not.
